Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor
contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air
through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is |
|
|
|
operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing |
|
|
|
compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air |
|
|
|
| Check Valve |
| |
compressor reaches |
|
| |
|
|
| |
valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside |
|
|
|
the air tank. |
|
|
|
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release |
|
|
|
valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is |
|
|
|
designed to automatically release compressed air |
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the compressor head and the outlet tube when | Pressure |
the air compressor reaches | Release |
shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to | Valve |
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be |
|
heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No |
|
air should be heard leaking when the motor is running, |
|
or continuous leaking after unit reaches |
|
pressure. |
|
Motor Overload Protector: The motor has an
automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2.Unplug compressor.
Before Starting
Serious damage may result if the following
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1.Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF" position.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed, pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the quick connect.
2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
